Marvel's x-men reboot: everything we know about the 2028 cast

A Marvel X-Men reboot is a cinematic adaptation of the iconic mutant superhero team integrated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), officially scheduled for release on May 5, 2028. Marvel Studios recently unveiled a new, younger ensemble cast intended to differentiate this iteration from the long-running 20th Century Fox film series.

At the D23 event, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige confirmed several key roles, signaling a strategic shift toward a younger generation of performers. While the previous Fox-produced films relied heavily on actors like Patrick Stewart and James Marsden, this reboot seeks to reset the narrative foundation for the MCU’s version of the X-Men (Mashable, 2024).

Who is in the new X-Men cast?

The new X-Men cast is a deliberate departure from the previous generation, focusing on younger talent to anchor the franchise for the next decade. Marvel Studios has confirmed the following actors for the upcoming 2028 film: Sadie Sink as Jean Grey, Kit Connor as Cyclops, Christopher Abbott as Professor Charles Xavier, Samara Weaving as Emma Frost, Inde Navarrette as Rogue, and Maya Boyd as Storm. Additionally, Adam Driver has been cast as the primary antagonist, Mr. Sinister.
